These Tiny Food Bookmarks Made Out Of Fabric Are The Future, And The Future Is Adorable — PHOTOS

There are many good arguments on both sides in the epic battle between e-readers and paper books. On the one hand, e-readers give readers portability and erase the need to rent a special storage shed just for books. On the other hand, paper books are shareable and write-in-able (yes, a technical term), and they have that amazing book smell.
